The controversy is served within Slack<\/strong>, a company that in recent months boasted about the capabilities of its Artificial Intelligence. The reason: the training process<\/strong> that their AI has undergone has been carried out by collecting information from Slack users<\/strong> without their consent. This, as expected, has generated many complaints from its users<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

As users of Slack have revealed on social media<\/a> in recent days, the communication platform focused on businesses<\/strong> has included a brief message in its fine print warning that all information deposited in Slack can be used for training its Artificial Intelligence, Slack AI<\/a>. This, being a hidden notice that could have gone completely unnoticed<\/strong>, generated numerous criticisms from its community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slack, on the other hand, wanted to make it clear that, although the company is using user data to train its AI-based systems<\/strong>, anyone can contact the company to request on a personal level that their data not be used<\/strong> for the training of these systems that apply machine learning<\/em> to become more effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello from Slack! To clarify, Slack has platform-level machine-learning models for things like channel and emoji recommendations and search results. And yes, customers can exclude their data from helping train those (non-generative) ML models. Customer data belongs to the\u2026<\/p>— Slack (@SlackHQ) May 17, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote>
